Thanks for your help.
How to open matlab in linux terminal.
Linux is case sensitive type all commands exactly as written.
I just downloaded matlab 2017b while there is the 2017a version on my computer version i do not own the licence.
The echo option of system is to send the results to the matlab command window as well not to open a new terminal.
The final value is normally a colon separated list of four sublists each of which could be empty.
We don t want to always open the terminal and run the above command each time we want to open matlab.
The value of xdisplay passed with the display argument to the script is used.
Sadly matlab doesn t create one for us automatically after the installation like it should have done so we ll need to create the launcher manually.
Download the linux installer file and the standalone edition license file to your downloads directory.
I recently installed matlab r2010b on a mac running os 10 7.
Press ctrl alt t to open a terminal window type cd downloads then enter.
Matlab ignores display if the nodisplay argument is passed.
The new terminal on windows is only because it is a graphical command that is being named.

Otherwise the value in the environment is used.
Final load library path.
Ideally one could write a command that opens matlab makes the current folder of matlab the same path as the current terminal directory then opens a specified file in editor.
I d like to be able to run it from the command line ala a linux system as i m not terribly thrilled with the matlab ui and i end up sshing into my computer a fair amount and prefer to stick with the terminal for the most part.
Instead we simply want to run matlab using an icon in the applications menu.
